| FLEETING BEAUTY
Stanhopea panamensis
Native to Panama and Columbia
The Stanhopea orchid flowers live life fast but beautiful. These dramatic flowers last only a few days, but put on a spectacular show capturing the attention of all our visitors. Stanhopeas can be found in damp forests from Mexico through Argentina.
The flower's scent is strong and irresistible to male euglossine bees. When they land to take a drink of nectar, they slip on the slick surface and tumble down a chute. The only way out is through a series of internal paths which lead the bee right to the spot where the flower can tag its back with pollen.
This spectacular specimen is now on display in the Lowland Tropics Gallery. | |
